people may be aware of uruguay. uruguay has started the complete recreational use of marijuana.the former soviet union are looking at going down that path, as well. so, it's still not shaped very well. but it's beginning. it's spreading like wildfire, as they say. >> u.s. is a leader then in this arena? >> yes. canada -- >> i'm curious, doctor, in how you finance your business because, as this has become such a booming industry, the banks said we want to participate. we want to provide funding. but unfortunately, with so many states not onboard, they're worried about potential money laundering, potential issue where they're funding businesses that are illegal in some states and not others. it seems like a lot of your competitors have gone public. but they're just trading for a couple cents. pure playpenny stocks. do you feel pressure to go public? and where do you find the money to actually finance and run your business? >> great question. it's a two-fold answer. first response is medbox is engaged out of santa monica to help us to -- to advise us on capital raising, which we're

at the end of 2014, both washington and colorado will have legal systems as well as uruguay.as a nation, they passed a bill. other nations will undoubtedly follow suit. >> i want to turn to patrick kennedy, the former congress member who cofounded the nonprofit group called marijuana.natives to he said legalizing drugs may further harm minorities. >> i'm concerned about the minority community that is now going to be targeted by these marijuana producers. distributors are in minority neighborhoods by a factor of 10. i can't even begin to tell you with the latest numbers are. you know what l.a. is looks like. it isis an an equal -- insidious. >> that is patrick kennedy who suffered from addiction himself. what is insidious is the stations war on drugs and the fact we allow hundreds of thousands of americans, predominantly young men of color, to be roped into the criminal justice system. new york is the marijuana capital of the world. we arrest more people in the state than any other state in the country. therrest more people -- number one arrest in new york is marijuana possess

what's going to happen in washington and uruguay the next few months, i can't say that it was inevitables i think time was on our side and people were eventually going to come to their senses about this. >> you know, there are a bunch of states that are targeted by this campaign by 2017. vermont, alaska, maine, nevada. is this going to be like gambling, where you had first one state and then two states and governors and state legislators start to look around and say, wow, they're raising revenue and they don't have to raise people's taxes. that seems kind of nifty. and before you know it, basically, everyone has casinos. >> chris, i think that's exactly what's going to happen. this year, figure that oregon will go next, maybe alaska. 2016, a whole bunch more states the through the ballot initiative process, and then you'll have the other half of the states that don't allow voters to change the law through the initiative process, especially in new england. as people look around and see the tax revenue collected, as they see police being able to focus on real crime, you'll see that shift.
